Ecological Restoration
A Respected Environmental Stewardship Ethic
EOR has developed lasting relationships with various clients based on our environmental stewardship expertise and ethic. We have restored over 13 miles of streams, completed hundreds of acres of wetland restorations and have routinely work with lake associations to manage aquatic invasive species and improve treasured waters. We've also worked with numerous land trust organizations and park districts to assess, restore, and secure property, as well as routinely complete plant and fauna surveys for private and public clients.
